Canon 30D vs Nikon D7500 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very hard to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements just by viewing technical specs. The visual here should give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the 30D and D7500.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different megapixels. You can anticipate the Nikon D7500 to result in extra detail because of its extra 13MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics much more aggressively. The older 30D will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
